Development
Although the game was first announced as a multi-platform release under the name Rainy Woods during the Tokyo Game Show 2007, several gaming websites noted that the title shared strong similarities with the American television serial drama Twin Peaks. The comparison eventually led the developers to change the artistic direction of the game to have less similarity to the television series, effectively pushing back its release sometime during "mid to late 2009, maybe even 2010" according to a representative during July 2008. All of the voice acting used for Rainy Woods had to be rerecorded to accommodate the new elements and the revised protagonist. Voice acting for the protagonist was provided by Jeff Kramer.
